Thanks for the thoughts (especially on a weekend).

I had looked at the a11yTO slides a couple weeks ago :-)
In fact, I had a question about slide 51 and whether the example did indeed
fail 1.4.1 while passing 1.4.11.
I don't have a recording of a11yTO so didn't have the context of the slides
but I presume if the different colors ("sign in") have meaning, then it
would be a 1.4.1 issue. I'm not going to delve into the topic of defining
what "color" means.
